Previous Day's Lessons:Tuesday 11/29 (White)Review Chapter 3 on video fast fwd. Kahoot for Chapter 3.View Chapter 4 ending at "Your cousin will thank you." 46:48Do Chapter 4 discussion questionsView Chap 4 LectureDo Close Reading of pp. 79-83 about Daisy and Gatsby's pastDiscuss what "bombshells" are uncovered with this monologue. Fitzgerald had to drastically change this section of the novel's format; the rest of the book is written entirely from Nick's perspective. This is the only scene that gives us information outside of Nick's knowledge. Also look at the final paragraph of Chapter 4 where Nick kisses Jordan (not out of love, but because he was jealous that he didn't have someone to "haunt" him like Tom and Gatsby). Students ALWAYS argue that Nick does this because he realizes that he likes Jordan. But go back to the text! Phrases like "the girl beside me" and "wan, scornful mouth" give away his general disregard for who Jordan is---he just wants to have someone, at least temporarily.Take Chapter 3-4 Quiz at QuiaAssignment for Thursday: Read Chapter 5 and complete Close Reading Activity
